"The ISTE Seal of Alignment has been a game-changer for the 21Things4 project. We began with our 21Things4 student site and were so impressed with the results that we sought an additional Seal of Alignment for the 21Things4Teachers site. Benefits have included increased website traffic, improved visibility and promotion, and increased credibility as a resource. In addition, our team is constantly monitoring to ensure that we accurately represent the ISTE seal we are so honored to display.
Earning the Seal of Alignment brought validity and credibility to the 21Things4 project and prompted common conversations about technology standards and learning. Educators around the world respect ISTE and respect the resources that bear its mark."

There are many benefits to earning the ISTE Seal of Aligment. These benefits fall into three categories:
The seal provides your product or service with exclusive third-party validation from ISTE, allowing you to leverage ISTE's internationally recognized brand and connecting you to extensive networks of tech-savvy leaders and educators.
The seal also allows you to stand out from the crowd of edtech products, increasing your competitive advantage.
Earning the seal opens the door to promotion and communication to ISTE's valuable audiences made up of ed tech decision-makers.
This includes recognition in the ISTE Update newsletter, promotion on ISTE's social media platforms, and options for targeted outreach to ISTE members (20,000), affiliate member organizations (70) and interest-driven professional learning networks (25).
Seal of Alignment holders gain access to special events at ISTE Annual Conference & Expo, the world's most comprehensive ed tech event with an average attendance of 20,000 educators and leaders.
